Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pack (3 oz) gummy worms (about 30 worms)
- 1/2 cup dill pickle juice (or more for soaking)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp dill weed (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for coating)
Instructions
- Place Gummy Worms: Start by placing the gummy worms in a shallow dish or bowl, ensuring enough space for them to be fully submerged in the pickle juice.
- Pour Pickle Juice: Pour the dill pickle juice over the gummy worms, making sure they are completely covered to allow full flavor absorption.
- Refrigerate to Marinate: Cover the dish and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. This soaking period lets the gummy worms absorb the tangy, salty pickle juice for the signature flavor.
- Drain Excess Liquid: After marinating, drain the gummy worms and place them on a paper towel to soak up any extra moisture, preventing sogginess.
- Add Seasonings (Optional): To enhance the pickle flavor, sprinkle the gummy worms with garlic powder and dill weed evenly for an extra hit of savory taste.
- Coat with Olive Oil: Lightly toss the gummy worms in olive oil to give them a glossy, slightly oily coating that mimics the sheen of actual pickles. This step is optional but adds authenticity.
- Serve: Present your Dill Pickle Gummy Worms chilled as a novel snack or party treat and enjoy the surprising blend of sweet and tangy flavors!
Notes
- Adjust soaking time based on desired flavor intensity; longer soaking yields a stronger pickle taste.
- The olive oil coating is optional but enhances the look and slight texture of the worms.
- Use fresh dill pickle juice for the best flavor impact.
- Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container and consume within 2 days for optimal texture.
- Garlic powder and dill weed add authenticity but can be omitted for a simpler flavor.
